What a curious non-story to be included in the NYT "alleged NEWS" section. From the article:

"For weeks in February and March, the numbers swelled outside this Capitol. Tens of thousands of protesters — and protesters of the protesters — marched around Capitol Square and filled the building’s rotunda, chanting, shouting and singing in response to Mr. Walker’s plan to cut collective bargaining rights and workers' benefits in order to help solve the state's budget problems."

Once I got to the part about "- and protestors of the protestors -" I knew the author had blown away any personal credibility as a "news reporter" interested in sharing an unbiased assessment of activist involvement in Madison. At no time throughout the year we've had in Madison was there ever any real "protest of protestors" involved in any numbers or impact. But this reporter repeats this Fox News invention as a way of discounting the presence of large numbers of Wiscnsinites - 100k PLUS at times! - rallying against Scott Walker and his abominable plans for this state.

Like I said: a really curious non-story here, passed off as legitimate journalism. Why here? Why now? (And, I might add, a nice pic of CJ, Jenna and a couple others in the rotunda!)
